J.I.D has blamed Funk Flex for the reason he “retired” from freestyles.
In a new interview with the Rap Radar Podcast, the Spillage Village MC admitted that spitting for Flex was a “childhood dream,” but the DJ’s muted response left him “a little upset” to the point he decided to pull back from doing freestyles altogether.

@spartanghost_17 Год назад

@@ss4kaioken295 this is a false information. Freestyle was always it's own thing and was called Rap Batlles. Not every 90s rapper Freestyled many were horrible at it because it required a completely different skill set and does not lend itself well to song writing. Would you rather have "in da club" from 50 cent or have him throw a bunch of lines without any structure around them?

@bruceleeds7988 Год назад

Freestyling is how you keep your skills sharp, it should be in your nature to just do it. no rapper should be chatting all boujie about Frees, only ones that do are the ones that only have bars from the albums

@@JugOnBlast yeah you’re wrong. Lil Wayne started the rapping over others beat thing. Might wanna go do a lil research by guy. It’s why he’s a mixtape legend. And he was doing it for free.

@DDS_92 Год назад

I think the freestyle is a integral part of a hip-hop scene. It doesn't necessarily have to be made up on the spot because so few rappers can do that at a high-level, and it would make most rappers look bad if they had to actually make it up on the spot, but if you don't have a 16 ready to go at all points to prove who you are and what you're about, then I think that says more to who you are as a rapper as far as preparedness. And most people discover new artist based on a quick freestyle they saw from an interview so it's important to be able to freestyle a good verse at any time it's like a rappers handshake.

Because we dissect freestyles so scathingly now, rappers have to have brand new, never before heard, never to be heard again rhymes just ready to go for these radio shows. So I could see why any rapper would rather just not do a freestyle. I thought JID did excellent on Flex and I was also surprised by Flex's reaction. But I don't think JID should let that make him feel like he didn't kill it. I think Flex treats freestyles differently now than the era JID was envisioning and Flex seemed to treat JID's presence on the show more as like a Dreamville connection instead of actually being excited to have JID on the show.

I had to go back and listen to the freestyle to see if Flex was tripping or not, and to be honest, to do what JID did shows he can rap, because it's not easy to memorize all that and use different flows and stay on beat with 2 different beats. Don't know much about his music but I'd imagine that he probably makes pretty good music. As far as radio freestyles go though I get why Flex wasn't hype. If we're being honest he was rapping a whole lot of nothing even though he was doing so skillfully. That's not going to get it done in that setting. If you really want to get a reaction have to be saying something that connects. The punchlines and the wordplay have to have some kind of relatable connections to the listeners. I don't feel like Flex was unfair at all he was actually very polite for the performance because I've seen Flex borderline disrespect people for coming up there and spitting some nonsense.

I think JID is better as writer than a freestyler. You should definitely check out some of his work, especially his newest album. I think his talent lies in his story telling and flow switches, as well as his diction. I also really hope he gets back into freestyling like he says because it would only be a matter of time before he's one of the best.

My theory is Flex is wanting you to spit an actual freestyle. That's why he hypes the wack bars cuz they are actual freestyles. Or maybe he is hating idk.

@daelaenor Год назад

Hearing people call memorized pre-written lyrics 'freestyles', is kinda annoying when there are people like Harry Mack who really are rapping off the dome. I think it'd be beneficial for both memorized freestyles and in-the-moment freestyles if the destinction between them would be made clearer to the audience.
